Get Birding · The Boom of the Bittern with Jeremy Vine · 8 Jul 2026 podcast

And the Irish babies took these pieces of land on starting in 1994, so we're 32 years old.

32 years.

Wow.

Of course, it was built really for bitten.

This one's quite lazy.

So two or three booms only, this one.

I heard you, yeah.

So it sounds like, imagine you had a big milk bottle.

Yeah.

Blowing over the top of that milk bottle.

And that can carry like four or five kilometres.

So this is obviously sounding out for females.

And so the RSPB and other organisations looked at this and thought we need to do something about this.

Looks quite natural, doesn't it, this?

But it's not, is it?

It's all created, yeah.

It's all man-made, yeah.

So this is kind of post-industrial, really.

This is a peat extraction area.

So lots of this land has been peat extracted.
